Journal Day 1
By: Michaella Today I went to Carson City and saw the capitol building. I also went gambling and won $500, I was so excited because right then and there I had the money that would cover for my hotel, and for all the gas that I needed to drive from place to place. Then I went to Casino Fandango. It was so cool I won $100 from Casino Fandango. I had the best time in Carson City. After that I went to Sparks. I went to Wild Island amusement complex that includes a water-park two mini golf courses and much more. I loved it. I did not want to leave. Admission prices are - General Admission (48" and taller) $22.99, Junior Admission (Under 48" tall) $17.99, Senior Citizens (age 60 and older) $6.99. Children under 3 yrs are admitted free of charge; also, all admissions after 3p are $12.99. Yes, the prices are a little high but it was awesome. My favorite thing to do was play the 18 hole mini golf. Then I went to Reno. In Reno I went to Animal Ark. Animal Ark is a 38-acre wildlife sanctuary and nature center northwest of Reno, Nevada. I absolutely loved the Peregrine Falcon. Whoopi was so pretty. She joined Animal Ark in 1993. She is grayish-blue and white. She is blind in her left eye but no one knows why. Then after that I visited Truckee Meadows Community College. It was a big college. I got to help some students at the college bake a chocolate cake for their professor. After the long day I stayed at Circus Circus hotel and casino. My room was fantastic and the sushi was just delicious.

Journal Day 2
By: Michaella Today I went to Fallon instead of going to Wonder, because Wonder is not a city anymore so the closest place was Fallon. In Fallon I went to Grimes point. It was so cool I saw a lot of petroglyphs. They were very interesting. They say that the petroglyphs are known to be 7000 years old! I also went to Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge, which was also very cool. I loved going to both of those places. Now that I’m out of Fallon I’m going into Ely. In Ely I went to Ramada Copper Queen Casino. The pool was so nice. It had just the perfect temperature. I was not afraid that I was going to drown because there was a lifeguard there the whole time, from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. It also has a hotel in it too. The beds were perfectly made! I just went into the hotel room for a nap. I’m at Boundary Peak. I’m trying to climb it. It is so beautiful up here. Did you know that Boundary Peak is ½ of a mile away from California? I know it’s close. When we got to a level point on Boundary Peak, we started to set up camp and we camped out until we were ready to hit the road again tomorrow. I loved camping up on Boundary Peak. It was so beautiful.

Journal Day 3
By: Michaella While I was in Overton I took the Adrenaline ATV Tour. It was awesome! After that I went to Flower Shoppe, and got a dozen tulips, a dozen roses (pink, white, red, black, a dozen of each color), a dozen lilies, a dozen pink primrose, and many more, and I got them for myself to have about two dozen in each room back at home (if I can keep them alive until I get home that is). Then I went to Books etc., and got The Hunger Games By: Suzanne Collins, The Invention Of Hugo Cabret By: Brian Selznick, Rules By: Cynthia Lord, 11 Birthdays By: Wendy Mass, and seven more books. I had so much fun. While in Pioche I went to Desert Breeze Dog Park with my dogs Yoshi and Luigi. Luigi played tug-of-war with a Poodle named Polly, and Yoshi and a Yorkshire Terrier named Macy played fetch with my mom. All the dogs had a blast, after they played fetch and played tug-of-war then they all went for a swim with my family and I in a lake. It was so fun. While I was in Northern Nevada Community College I got to bake two cakes with some of the cooking class students. The cakes were dark chocolate, one had white stripes on it and the other one had white polka dots on it. They were delicious. I had a big chunk of both of the cakes. Bonnie Springs is so beautiful. It was so cool and just awesome. Did you know that the population of Blue Diamond as of July 2007 was 369 people? As a reward I stayed in Bonnie Springs hotel. The hotel was breathtaking. I for sure want to come back sometime. Well goodbye for now!
